Nigeria : A country of abracadabra.


Assuming it was a governor from the Northern part of the country that was free and acquitted this same manner, the children of hate, perdition and frustration (the enemies of the nation) wouldn't have allowed the cyberspace to rest till the end of the year shouting injustice.
But look at all the supporters of criminals keeping mute online and trooping out to celebrate in the same state that OUK looted dry.




They are Suffering and smiling peeps.
Supporters of criminals they are.



Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria.

I know say that Mary Mad-alene must be part of this Alibaba judgment.

That woman is a very bad influence on other justices.

NB

For the knuckleheads quoting and getting into my mention to spew bullocks at me, I don't even read your bleats.

How you could be a fan of a woman who used her position and office by exploiting the loop-holes she and her likes from the east, west, south, and North of this country deliberately left bare to subjugate and miscarry justice as it suits them to procure a perpetual injunction for her husband against corruption trial is unbelievable.

She, and her corrupt ilks in the Judiciary, Legislature, and the Executive no go die better death and na vulture go feast on their carcass, except they are innocent or promptly repent and begin to do the right thing.

Quote me to spew some trash and collect the above curse for you and your lineage.

Members of the panel are

1. Justices Mary Odili;

2. Justice Bode Rodhes-Vivour,

3. Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun,

4. Justice Inyang Okoro

5. Justice Olukayode Ariwoola,

6. Justice Amina Augie

7. Justice Ejembi Eko

In a unanimous judgment on Friday, a panel of seven Justices of Supreme Court set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court as a nullity.

Justice Ejembi Eko who read the leading judgment held that Justice Mohammed Idris having been elevated to the bench of the Court of Appeal was no longer a Judge of the Federal High Court and therefore acted out of the jurisdiction.

The apex court further held that section 396(7) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), 2015 which allows the President of the Court of Appeal to issue a fiat to Justice Idris to adjudicate on the case is a nullity as it conflicts with the provisions of the 1999 constitution.

The controversial section 396(7) of ACJA, which was declared a nullity by the Supreme Court reads;

“Notwithstanding the provision of any other law to the contrary, a Judge of the High Court who has been elevated to the Court of Appeal shall have dispensation to continue to sit as a High Court Judge only for the purpose of concluding any part-heard criminal matter pending before him at the time of his elevation and shall conclude the same within a reasonable time: Provided that this subsection shall not prevent him from assuming duty as a Justice of the Court of Appeal.”

However, the apex court held that the Fiat issued to justice Idris by the president Court of Appeal President dated July 2, 2019 pursuant to section 396(7) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act was unconstitutional.

Justice Eko held that ” the president of the Court of Appeal acted ultra vires her powers when she issued the fiat to Justice Idris to sit as a judge of the Federal High Court.

“The Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal are established by the Constitution with distinct powers and functions. The president of the Court of Appeal has no powers to assign dual powers to a Justice of the Court of Appeal to meddle in the internal affairs of the Federal High Court.

“Justice Mohammed Idris having been elevated to the Court of Appeal ceased to be a Judge of the Federal High Court and therefore lacked the jurisdiction to adjudicate on the case.

“Section 396(7) of ACJA did not give him new powers to perform dual functions.

Section 396(7) of ACJA conflicts with section 253 of the constitution which provides that: “The Federal High Court shall be dully constituted if it consists of at least one judge of that court. It is therefore a nullity.

“The implication is that Justice Idris acted without jurisdiction. It is settled law that jurisdiction is the life wire of adjudication and if a court has no jurisdiction to decide a case, the proceedings remain a nullity ab initio, no matter how well conducted and decided. This is so since a defect in competence is not only intrinsic but also extrinsic to the entire process of adjudication.

“Accordingly, the judgment delivered on December 5, 2019 I hereby set aside. The case file is to be remitted to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court to be assigned to another judge for trial de novo.

“This is because you cannot put something on nothing and expect it to stand as the whole trial was a nullity ab initio”, Justice Eko held.

In her contribution to the judgment, Justice Amina Augie held that section 396(7) of ACJA ” has no place in our statute books. A Justice of the Court of Appeal cannot go back to the High Court and put up a new cap to president on cases. The section is inconsistent with the Constitution and is therefore null and void.”

Other Justices on the panel are Justices Mary Odili; Bode Rodhes-Vivour, Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, Inyang Okoro and Olukayode Ariwoola.

The appellant had through their counsel, Chief Solo Akuma (SAN); Dr. Awa Kalu (SAN) challenged the jurisdiction of the trial court to adjudicate on the matter.

They argued that justice Idris who delivered the judgment having been elevated to the bench of the Court of Appeal can no longer sit as a judge of the Federal High Court.

They further challenged the constitutionality of section 396(7) of ACJA and urged the court to declare it unconstitutional.
